After Putin ordered a halt to the onslaught on the Azov steel plant on April 21, the Russian coalition changed its strategy, blocking all passages outside the plant, including ventilation vents and sewer pipes, and firmly blocking the Azov battalion and the remnants of the Ukrainian army in the underground facility, which can not be described as a fly. However, after only 12 days of calm, the Azov Steel Plant once again heard a violent explosion and returned to the previous state of engagement.
Billowing smoke billowed inside the Azov Steel Plant
According to Russian RT television, the Azov Steel Plant in the city of Mariupol has resumed its fighting state, and there was a fierce shelling sound inside the plant area, and billowing smoke rose. Ukrainian media also confirmed the RT TV report that the Azov steel plant was suddenly attacked by Russian heavy artillery and aerial bombs, and the previous calm state of the steel plant has ceased to exist. According to Russian media reports, after the Russian army announced a ceasefire, the militants of the Azov battalion and the Ukrainian armed forces, which were originally hidden in underground facilities, drilled out and occupied favorable firing positions in the factory area and factory buildings, and the Russian coalition forces were forced to use artillery and fighters to clear these fire points.
Before the Azov Steel Plant re-entered a state of war, with the assistance of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, hundreds of civilians withdrew from the Azov Steel Plant through the humanitarian passage set up by the Russian army, and at present, there are basically no civilians inside the steel plant except for the remnants of the Ukrainian army, and the "big fish" hidden inside the Azov Steel Plant have also surfaced.
On April 28, a spokesman for the Donetsk militia involved in the siege of the Aeszov steel plant told the media that a senior NATO general was hidden in the underground facilities of the Azov steel plant, and that this person may be a general of the Canadian army. Previously, the Canadian media disclosed that Canadian Army Lieutenant General Trevor Kadir was in Ukraine, and then the Canadian military quickly extinguished the fire, saying that this person had retired on April 5 and did not belong to the Canadian military personnel. According to media sources, Trevor Kadir is a lieutenant general in the Canadian Army, who had the opportunity to become the chief of staff of the Canadian Army, but was only reported for his personal life style, and had to go to Ukraine to "make meritorious deeds" and try to regain control of the Canadian Army through his achievements in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. Some media speculated that Trevor Kadir's trip to Ukraine was not an act of personal action, but was appointed by NATO to serve as a high-level commander of NATO by Ukraine.
Before the Russian coalition besieged the Azov steel plant, the Ukrainian military repeatedly sent helicopters to force the Mariupol to fish for people, but the rescue operation ended in failure, and 5 helicopters were shot down by the Russian coalition forces. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy also shouted to Russia that if the Ukrainian army inside the Azov steel plant is eliminated, then the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will be terminated, and ordered the Ukrainian army inside the steel plant not to surrender. All indications are that there must be "big men" inside the Azov steel plant that Ukraine needs to rescue at all costs.
According to the latest news, Lieutenant General Trevor Kadir, a retired Canadian army, was captured by the Russian army during the escape and has been sent to Russia for interrogation. As nato's supreme commander in Ukraine, In addition to holding a lot of classified operational information, Kadir also holds the data of the United States conducting deadly virus research in the Ukrainian biological laboratory, and once Russia obtains these information, it will be extremely unfavorable to the United States.
However, after nato's "big fish" was caught, the Ukrainian army entrenched inside the Azov steel plant did not raise its hand to surrender, but took advantage of the Russian army's ceasefire to evacuate civilians and occupied a favorable firing position on the ground of the steel plant, trying to resist to the end, and the steel plant once again had a fierce exchange of fire. This shows that in addition to the "big fish" of Kadir, there are even bigger "fish" inside the factory, and the Ukrainian army risked its life to once again have a fierce firefight with the Russian coalition forces in order to allow more important figures to escape the blockade area.
Before the "big fish" was arrested, UN Secretary-General António Guterres paid a special visit to Putin in the Kremlin and asked Russia to allow the UN and the International Red Cross to participate in the evacuation of civilians from the Aeszov steel plant. At the same time, Vatican Pope Francis has made three requests to Putin to evacuate civilians inside Mariupol from the Azov steel works to a Vatican-flagged vessel. In fact, the discerning people know that the United Nations and the Pope want to evacuate are not so-called civilians, but "big people" with important influence, if the big fish inside the Azov Steel Plant is only a Lieutenant General of the Canadian Army, there is no way to use the power of the United Nations and the Pope to fish for people.
In fact, the Russian army has already set up several humanitarian passages in Mariupol, as long as civilians can leave Mariupol through the passage, there is no need for the participation of the international community, not to mention that there are not many civilians at the Azov Steel Plant. As the manipulator of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the United States played a very important role in Ukraine, and the largest "fish" in the Mariupol Steel Plant was also alleged to have direct ties to the top level of the US government.
Although the underground facilities of the Azov Steel Plant have 6 floors, they are by no means indestructible, and as long as the Russian army is determined, it is only a matter of time before it is taken. Under the strong offensive of the Russian army, the biggest "fish" hidden deep underground may gradually surface, which may allow Russia to gain greater bargaining chips.
